1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,640
the ant lion mod mic was always a good idea and while for some people myself

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:11,280
included the previous revisions actually worked reasonably well the ongoing sound

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,400
card compatibility issues minimal features and just plain old lack of

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,440
availability made them not a great option for a lot of

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,840
people a global leader in Tech recruiting is celebrating Geek Pride by

6
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:33,079
giving away 10 amazing Tech prizes for more info visit the MoDOT Facebook page

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,280
or modus.com but none of those things were enough to

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:43,800
stop those folks from continuing to refine the original concept being able

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:48,399
to keep your high quality headphones and put a highquality boom style microphone

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,879
on them instead of resorting to one of several other solutions that have always

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,440
felt a little bit cluggy to me clipping your mic to your clothes tethers you to

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,519
your desk a desktop microphone picks up a lot of ambient noise and switching to

13
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:06,040
a gaming headset when you game will either give you rubbish audio quality on

14
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:11,439
your end or you'll be spending a fortune on a quality allinone like the atth ag1

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:17,280
from Audio Technica which just plain doesn't make sense if you already have

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,840
awesome headphones that you like today

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,159
all of that changes my review unit of the modmic 4.0 didn't come in a package

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,840
that looked like they made it out of an old toilet paper roll with a handwritten

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:33,920
notet tape to the side wishing me luck no this one I'm I get a handy dandy and

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,960
surprisingly rugged little carrying case with a simple instruction manual that

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,439
directs you to the website if you have any further questions two magnetic bases

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,759
that allow the mic to be rotated or removed completely from whatever

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,159
headphones you attach them to got to love them magnets some extra adhesive

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,240
for one of the bases and finally an alcohol prep pad for attaching the

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:02:00,000
magnetic base to your headphones the mod mic itself is thicker than the old one

26
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:02,719
and more robust feeling in every way the

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,680
microphone tip is larger and has a nice snug fitting windscreen that fits over

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,840
top of it but you should still be careful when mounting it to keep the

29
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,000
microphone off to the side of your mouth instead of directly in front of it for

30
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:20,440
better sound quality and fewer plosives moving down we've got the other

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,239
half of the magnetic Mount and a clever little like bending system that can be

32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,720
adjusted to fit well in the lowered and

33
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,599
raised position without unnecessarily tugging on you you you can also adjust

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:38,080
it if you want and bend it however will fit you best further down we find an

35
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:42,040
inline mute something that was seriously missing from the older revisions and

36
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:46,640
then a thicker than normal but still flexible and actually very lightweight

37
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:54,360
wire that terminates in a standard 3 and 1 12 mm Jack it's just little things but

38
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:59,360
they add up to a lot last time the mod mic felt like a really exciting science

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,680
fair project and this time it feels like a finished product from a real company

40
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:09,879
but of course you guys want to know how it sounds right frankly great it blows

41
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,360
the doors off most of the gaming headset microphones that I've heard and to my

42
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,400
ear is closer to the excellent microphone on the Audio Technica headset

43
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:24,239
that I mentioned before than to anything else that I've heard but you can judge

44
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:26,720
for yourself self selves or self however

45
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:32,319
many people there are watching right now here is a microphone test with it

46
00:03:30,519 --> 00:03:36,920
this is my audio recording test for the mod mic 4.0 it sounds absolutely

47
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:43,599
fantastic to me but I guess I'll let you guys be the judge of

48
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,439
that also there will be dancing involved

49
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:50,599
in this microphone test something that I probably should have warned everyone

50
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,760
about before it happened sorry now bear

51
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:58,799
in mind the only side by-side comparison you're listening to right now is with

52
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,400
the $600 microphone system that I'm

53
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,280
using so so for some more fair comparisons check out the SoundCloud

54
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:10,560
Link in the video description which I will continue to add to as time goes on

55
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,599
so with all of that out of the way I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions

56
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:17,919
about a product like this but here are my thoughts anyway I love it it's a

57
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,960
better implementation of a product that I already liked it is a little bit on

58
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,680
the expensive side but it sounds great and frankly for the target audience

59
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,960
people who have headphones that sound better than gaming headsets the price

60
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,440
won't be unreasonable when you consider the quality and functionality of it and

61
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:40,759
the fact that it allows you to use that other investment you've already made

62
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,479
more often one thing that they really

63
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:48,320
need to figure out though even if I don't have a solution off the top of my

64
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,240
head is the two wire issue whether it's through an optional accessory or

65
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:57,120
something that they include in the Box ant lion needs to find a way to let me

66
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,479
manage the headphone and microphone wires together so I don't end up with a

67
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:07,479
Tangled mess they address this somehow and this thing is pure gold as usual

68
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:13,919
guys the link to pricing and availability for the I reused an old

69
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,560
script so it says plexer M6 SSD but

70
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,479
